That's why we love this simple and fun idea for apple nachos!
This recipe is super easy to throw together and the presentation makes it fun and easy to grab.
Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 Apples
- 2 tbsp Almond/Cashew Butter
- 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1/4 c. Toasted Coconut Flakes
- 2 tbsp Pepitas
- 1 tbsp Cacao Nibs
- 1 tbsp Dried Currants (can substitute with raisins/craisins/etc.)
Directions:
Cut apples into thin wedges and arrange on a plate. In a bowl, whisk together almond butter, oil, and maple syrup. Drizzle over apples, then sprinkle with coconut, pepitas, cacao nibs, and currants.
What are some of the health benefits of these ingredients?
Apples are loaded with fiber and Vitamin C. They also contain polyphenols in the skin which are powerful antioxidants. Almond Butter is rich in Vitamin E as well as lots of healthy fats and protein. Pure maple syrup has many hard to find minerals in it including calcium, zinc, manganese, and potassium. Pepitas and cacao nibs are both excellent sources of magnesium which many people are lacking in their diet. Magnesium is important for supporting your muscle and nerve functions (things we care a lot about!).
